I went to the golf course the other day and picked up a game with a twosome on the first tee, two gentlemen around my age. We rocked along for 16 or so holes playing golf and occasionally, occasionally conversing. Somehow the conversation turned to social media.
I remarked that I was not on any of it currently, and that I had gotten off of Facebook years ago after discovering that I did not like many of my relatives. At least a big part of that was that many of my relatives had huge problems with my liberal politics and agnostic stance on religion, and I with their conservative politics and evangelic religion.
After hearing my comment about not liking my relatives, one of the gentleman remarked, “I don’t like anyone.”
Well…I did not know quite know what to say after that. I’m not sure I have ever heard misanthrope so openly avowed.
